i paid rent this month the exact same as last month and they emailed me after a week saying i owed them $35 more. just out of nowhere, just because. yes it's only 35 but also fuck off

'went rogue' is a bit of an alarmist way to say 'typed scary text'

i'd love to see an AI that could legitimately scare me

what a fucking dogshit state. not that social media is good for anyone, but restricting kids from one of their main forms of communication / news / outlet to the world is just designed to be obnoxious.

even best case scenario, active malice aside, these people somehow have zero memory of what it was like to be a kid; having to wake up for school at 6am and do endless homework for no material benefit, and now this

if they secede we'll have to update all the flags. what a pain. maybe we could just add in puerto rico really quick

yeah all the cutesy jokes come off more annoying than just steadfastly calling it twitter like a normal person

why can't they just give them an insane amount of opiates rather than all this odd shit

(if we have to kill people, which we shouldn't)

zero reason ever for any piece of technology to know where i live and make my experience worse because of it

i think it was somewhat more sensible when the main form of communication was riders on horseback but it's gotten stupid very quickly

it's incredible there are still guys who act like a grade school dress code is some sort of sacred biblical text. just really makes your skin crawl. imagine believing in something like that. imagine taking time out of your day to punish someone over their hair and thinking you're a noble servant of the barber's hill tradition. what the fuck dude

oh and also the virulent racism

what a literal fucking psychopath. i mean literally imagine waking up and thinking these things. imagine trying to actively make the world worse like this.

oh yeah i'm trying to make bathrooms a subscription

i'm trying to make food a subscription

i'm trying to make tv a subscription

i'm trying to make clothes a subscription

i cannot wait to live in paradise

i honestly wonder how you become so morally bankrupt and empty inside that you design these sort of worker tracking tools. killing people in a war somehow seems more benign, or more naturalistic than slowly whittling down people's will to live by not giving them bathroom breaks in order to save someone else a microscopic amount of money

the country that spends the most money on healthcare yet has no public option. the country that still arrests people for weed (in the shitty states). the country that says homeless people just need to try harder. the country that lets you drive at 16, buy a gun at 18, sign up for the military in high school, yet harasses college students for drinking. the country that says you deserve to be burdened with debt for getting an education. the country that says you need to stand for the special song before every sporting event. the country that has far shittier rail infrastructure than 100 years ago. the country that thinks people should earn sick days or vacation at work. the country that thinks it's fine to drug test people as a barrier to employment. the country that thinks it gets to be the world's police. the country that has a famous statue that literally says 'give me your tired etc etc' but wants to be even crueler to immigrants.

freaks like this just love seeing the hope in children's eyes die. my supernintendo was infamous for calling a snow day maybe 5% of the time when all the other districts doled them out happily

ok? and they aren't, that's the point. it's absolutely bewildering seeing so many people now defend the hellish grind that previously was at most grudgingly accepted as most of adult life - working 5 days in a row, out of the house all day, commuting, up early, no matter the weather or your mood or health. insane.

Biden is playing the game and reading off a teleprompter, Trump is riffing

one of my least favorite tech innovations lately is that they expect you to want to type in a full ass sentence instead of just 'macbook display dimensions'

Now this is a great answer; well thought out. Very prescient as well I'm sure.

investors should be taken to a remote island and left to fend for themselves
